I have been working in the yachting industry, specifically on large sailing yachts for 10 years, with over 130,000nm logged around the world. I have gained victory in 4 Caribbean super-yacht regattas, including 2 round Antigua records. My love of sailing and drive for success and adventure stems from my late Grandfather John Ripard.

One of John Ripard Snr's descendants, carrying on his legacy with a life spent at sea. I have been a professional large yacht captain for 15 years and continue to sail around the world while joining whatever regattas I can as crew.
